MaxID Corp. has introduced a new product in its line of mobile, multi-modal biometric devices. The new device, called the iDL300, is even smaller and more lightweight than its other handheld counterparts in the iDL product line and is expected to be available in September.

MaxID is marketing the new offering in maritime security, border management and perimeter security due to its lightweight nature, rugged design and ability to read TWIC, CAC, PIV, PIV-I, SAM and FRAC cards as well as passports and driver’s licenses.

Other capabilities of the new device that MaxID is touting include contactless card and barcode reading; optical fingerprint scanning; WiFi, 3G and Bluetooth communication and a screen that is bright enough to be viewed in sunlight.
